Alternatives to Buckle Bopper for arthritic hands

Hi all, I've been researching gadgets to help my Mum get DD in and out of her car seat. She has mild arthritis so I'd quite like to get something to help. I found the Buckle Bopper but the shape of it is wrong - it's for seats that have a button in the centre of the clasp, whereas ours has a five point harness with a button on the top of the clasp where the straps feed in (Britax First Class). Any suggestions for something to help with this style of seat? Thanks.

Does she need a gadget to help her get her out. I have arthritis and have never had any trouble with britax seats. If she is having trouble can she get her it tight enough? I have had trouble with maclaren pushchairs.

Hi Jelly, it's useful to know you haven't had a problem. Its really just the buckle, the pull strap to tighten it is ok. I'm going to have a few trial runs this week so hopefully it won't be too bad. Thanks.
